Class of 2025… Can we Count You In?

Each year, our graduating class participates in a proud Class Gift tradition where members of the class invest in the University by supporting current and future Red Hawks. We invite the Class of 2025 to come together to show your support. 

Why should I give?

Your gift will pay it forward for future Red Hawks and kick-start your philanthropic connection to Montclair State.

All gifts to Montclair count!  Make your gift to support the university's greatest needs, The Fund for Montclair State or The Bloomfield College of Montclair State Fund. Let’s join together to be counted in our class gift drive- #CountMeInMontclair

Gift Amounts:

For a gift of $20.25 - Customized Philanthropy cord

  • Commemorate your class year! Make a gift of at least $20.25 and you’ll receive your Customized Montclair or Bloomfield Alumni philanthropy cord to wear over your Commencement robe. 

For a gift of $40.00 - Commencement Message

  • For a gift of $40, celebrate this milestone with your family, friends and colleagues by having your message displayed on the screen at Commencement. Once you make your gift, please answer the question by checking the box to let us know which ceremony you will be marching in. Donors at this level will also receive the Customized Montclair or Bloomfield Alumni philanthropy cord. The final day to submit a commencement message for the Spring 2025 Commencement is April 22, 2025 at 4:00 PM. We cannot accept any messages after this date!
